Blog

You’ll have to pardon me – this is on of those posts that’s just making notes for myself to refer back to later. Last night I planted in the front flowerbeds:
1 purple lavender
1 orange symphony
1 summertime pink charma
2 Dianthus – Confetti Deep Red
2 Dianthus – Spangled Star
A seed packet of Butterfly Flowers
2 Broadway Lights Daisies
3 Shasta Daisies
2 Coreopsis – Rising Sun
2 Pensteman – X Mexicali
1 Delphinium – Summer Blue
1 Delphinium – Blue Mirror
4 Delosperma – Cooperi Yellow

Over the weekend, we planted lettuce, cucumbers, radishes, sugar snap peas, rhubarb, and green onions. Still to plant are seed packets of Columbines and more Blue Mirror Delphiniums. I also plan to buy and plant hostas and Pachysandras in the back corner of the house near the deck to fill in the space and reduce mowing in that awkward corner. Clematis will go next to the deck to climb up the trellis. Additionally, I need to set up the copper pipe trellis from the garage and start some Clematis growing on it at the side of the house. I still need to finish weeding the side bed and get some small fencing around the vegetables to keep the bunnies out. After all this work, I’ll need to arrange for garden rubbish disposal in Auckland to keep everything neat and tidy.
